How to limit dhcpd.leases file size

[perl-list]

Its neither limited nor unlimited. 

The daemon will append to the file with each new or updated lease. Once per hour it dumps the contents of memory back to the file thus truncating the file and recording every current lease (and usually expired entries such that it has a listing for each IP that is in use/has been used). This file is needed or leases will be forgotten about on server restart and duplicate IP assignments would happen.
